|
| Rodents at war?
| Old Chinese stories did not have telephones!
| There are some passages that go down and around the sunken dioramas,
but they looked too dark and scary for me to enter.
| A large woman and small dragon in the same pose. What does it mean?
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Instead of tricking the hare, the tortoise decides to hire an ostrich.
| I saw a number of these frogs with gold coin in their mouth. I wonder
what it means.
| Two sumo wrestlers play something like Jenga?
| How's this for overcompensating? I guess it's forgivable because it's
in part a marketing ploy for the guy's product: Tiger Balm.
In the
original car, the eyes emitted red light and the horn was a roar.

|
| A wall of dragons having a party. Incidentally, they're in relief.
| Don't mess with the guy with the maces. As the sign says, he's the
(hell) court's enforcer.
| Some scenes are gruesome.
Don't worry: I declined to photograph
the rest of them.
| A description of the second court of hell. Every punishment was
illustrated by a diorama.
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The third court's punishments. Yes, they're also all shown.
| The fourth court's. I wonder how they decide on punishments for
particular crimes. Also, these are some bloody scenes/settings. Now
you know why I'm not photographing more dioramas here.
| Court five.
| Court six. You'll notice the crimes don't get worse as the numbers
increase, not do the punishments.
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Court seven. Sometimes the punishments sound like crimes. The
punishment "thrown into a wok of boiling oil" sounds like court six's
crime "wasting food."
| The eight court's scene might be the most disturbing, but frankly all
are pretty darn disturbing.
| Court nine.
| Court ten.
|
|
|
|
|
|
| One diorama for court ten shows people being judged, with the animals
they'll become on their backs.
| "Yo insects! Fight and let me photograph it or else I'll shoot you." ?
| A diorama in the process of being repainted. I like spotted
work-in-progress.
| Technically this is me, but only certain things sound like me.
|
|
|
| Technically this is Di Yin, but it doesn't sound much like her either.

| Dinner at Clementi Hawker Center
|
|
|
|
| I chose to get dinner from one of the popular stands.
| My roasted chicken rice. Note the roasted skin. Fluffy, fragrant rice.
Very good all around, on par with the award-winning chicken rice vendors
I've had.
| Water chestnut juice, refreshing as always.
